This Airbnb Rental Looks Like a 'Star Wars' Set

If you've ever wanted to live like Anakin Skywalker for a day, well, we have the perfect Airbnb for you. Described as an "earth house," the remote, desert property, near Big Bend National Park in Terlingua, Texas, is a smooth, adobe dome that just so happens to look exactly like Annakin's mother's house on the planet of Tatooine in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Bonus: Big Bend is known for beautiful stargazing, and the earth house's isolated spot gives you uninterrupted views of the cosmos. (If you squint hard enough, you might see the Millennium Falcon hurtling through space.)

All Star Wars geek-outs aside, the Airbnb actually looks pretty nice. Although it's only one open room, the space can accommodate three guests. There's a bed, sofa-bed, full kitchen, and "half bath," a term that should be used loosely: the toilet is outside, and there isn't a shower or tub on site (options are listed as solar-bag showers outside, or paying for a $2 coin shower in town.) Overall, this is a pretty eco-conscious property, so you'll have to contend with some not-so-standard accoutrements—again, you'll have to go to the bathroom outside, in a composting outhouse. The entire dome is solar-powered (don't worry, there's Wi-Fi), the space is kept cool by a fan provided in the summer (and heated by propane in the winter), and the sink draws water from a rain cistern, so water usage is supposed to be kept to a minimum. (Separate drinking water is provided.) But at only $88 a night, it's well worth the price for the unique location.

But if this tiny dome in Tatooine Terlingua isn't your thing, fear not. There are still tons of other places worldwide where you can get your Star Wars fix ahead of the new Hans Solo movie, out later this month. For starters, visit the deserts of Wadi Rum, Jordan, which you'll find looks an awful lot like the planet Jedha. Or, head to Skellig Michael, the Irish island where Rey and Luke's training sessions were filmed for The Last Jedi. Who knows, maybe you'll feel the force yourself when you visit.
